quickly the round CLEAN of light went
into the open cavern of the unlidded

his knees in eager, rapid exploration.
The CLEAN rested upon pile of car
bines, bundle of sabers in their scab-
baris. a huge round cylinder of moldy
brass mounted upon a queer little heavy
wheeled wagon, a pile of black balls
as large as cocoa-nut. and beyond
these an unknown number of little
bags Of leather, of canvas and OF

THE MAKING OF TRUSTS. .
Refutation OF . Nonssnsical Statemaa
Made by Free Traders.

Refutation Of . N0nsensical Statemooe
Made BY Free Traders.
Some of the free-trade newspapers
argue that it is the protective tariff sys-
tenn of the United States which makes
the organization of trust monopolies
possible, and that If our markets were
thrown open to Unrestricted foreign
competition. such monstrous oppres-
sive combinations could not succeed. /.
There is short answer to all such
nonsense. The protective system has
prevailed in this country for many
years. but these trust conspiracies arc
of recent origin. Why have they NOT
existed as long as the present tariff
system? Why have they sprouted up
with all the fecundity of sown dragons.
teeth within the last few months? !;
Moreover. if the manufacturers Of
the United States who control q GER
tain line of products can combine to
destroy competition and increase their
gains. what would be to hinder tho
manufacturers Of other countries do
ing the same thing? It is not likely
that European manufacturers are ami
mated by humanitarian impulses any
more than American manufacturers
are. The same spirit prevails among
them all. and q sugar trust, or a coffee
trust or any other kind Of q trust,
could be formed as well with free trade
as without IT. Only the other day it
was announced that French capitalists
had "cornered'' the tin market; not
the tin market of France. or England.
but of the world. Combinations for
commercial purposes do not stop al
political boundary lines They pay NO
attention to these when it suits theia
purpose to disregard them. Thd
truth is. that free trade or projections
has no more to do with trusts than has
summer or winter.
Trust-making is 1.-THE tendency of
the times" as the president of one Of
these gigantic combinations recently
declared. 1t is an evil and vicious
tendency. and must be crushed out.
but reign OF free-trade would never
accomplish that end. 1t must be done
by an uprising of tie people that will
secure the enforcement Of the laws
against these outrageous monopolies.
The courts can exterminate them. but
free trade can never do it-Chicego

An AnecdOte of Garfield,

Those who remember events Of the kind
will recall the fact that Garfield, during
the early autumn of 1880, made journey
to New York city, going from Cleveland
by way of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern and New York Central system
and returning by the Erie and ''Nypano. !"
The trip was made by special train, and q
corps of correspondents from leading
papers was kept exceedingly busy, for
speeches were made at almost every sta
ton, and there was lively hustle for the
wires. 1t was almost constantly writing
and racing to telegraph Offices for dear
life
On an intensely hot afternoon was sit
ting during an interval of leisure, looking
from the window, when Garfield took me
by the arm, raised me from my seat, led
me into q compartment at the end Of the
car, locked the door and asked:
Have you had any watermelony
NO, sir" said l.
Neither have I. We are both too
busy, bur now we viii steal ten long min
utes and no one shall enter that door"
With this he produced from an ice box a
huge melon. cut it in two, carved off two
great slices. and handing me one began
operations on the other. Thus we sat, too
engrossed to talk, while knock after knock
at the door was UNDECIDED until we had
fairly polished the rinds. Then he arose,
and saying, Now must go back to work;
remember where the melons are" left me.
